Treasure Island Yard Waste & Bulky Item Pickup

The Sanitation Division of Public Works will haul away most larger items that cannot be normally thrown away with regular trash collection.These items can include:

YARD WASTEUp to one hopper load of yard waste will be picked up at no extra charge as long as the material meets the length and thickness restrictions. What in the world is a hopper load? The hopper is the receiving bin on the back of the yard waste trucks. The hopper load size is a pile of yard waste that includes individual pieces no longer than three feet with a total pile dimension of approximately 4 feet wide by 3 feet high by 6 feet in length, or approximately two and three quarter cubic yards. An easier way to remember a hopper load size: it's the equivalent of fourteen yard and leaf bags or fourteen 32-gallon trash cans full.

The fee for pick up of these items will be twenty dollars ($20) for the first item and ten dollars ($10) per item for each additional item on that pick up.
